When should you check your tyre pressures?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. When the tyres are cold
- Step 1: Driving heats the tyres and raises the pressure reading. Step 2. A cold reading shows the true pressure. Answer: When the tyres are cold. Why not the others: Warm tyres give a false high reading, and waiting for the MOT or a flat look is too late.
